Opinion on two movies

[JohnL]

>I saw none of you mentioned Phantasm OblIVion is that one no good???

I liked it (I liked all of them). A lot of people thought it used too much 'recycled' footage. It had a lot of flashbacks to the first film, but instead of just showing you scenes from the original, they used a lot of footage that was cut, so even though it was 'old' footage, it had never been seen before. It didn't have a lot of action though, compared to the others. It was more character developement and you learn how the Tall Man originally arrived in this world and started the whole thing.

If you liked the first one, rent the sequels.

By far my favorite of the series.  Even though the original was fantastic, this one just has something about it.  Maybe it's all the character development....  It's just a really deep film.  Much worth a rent or buy.

Phantasm II was decent.  They had a completly different actor play Mike which irked me quite a bit, but still an all around good Phan film.

Phantasm III is pure camp.  100% campy fun!  Saw this one for the first time about 6 years ago Halloween on USA.  One of the first films to get me interested in horror.  Pure mindless fun.

As for the future of Phantasm, a new one is set to be filmed sometime soon (eventhough this has been said for years).  It's even going to star Bruce Campbell!

Speaking of Bruce, when is Bubba Ho Tep coming out on DVD?

Orgy was painful to watch.  Even with all the topless chicks.
It's Ed Wood's "Waiting for Godot"

Oh dear God.  That's a line to remember.

Thanks for the laugh.

Thanks.  I thought it up on the spur of the moment.  Must've been the caffeine kicking in.
